Today was Wednesday, my birthday, and the day the maid comes, so Jenni and I decided to go out. We took the train to Woking. We decided to have a bit slower day.
We went to a shopping center. It is the only shopping center that I have seen here. Jenni did lots of shopping for the boys and a bit for Derek and herself. As usual I bought lots of drinks. I am thirsty all the time. Drinks do not have ice in them here and iced tea is a totally unheard of thing. I had a jacket potatoe for lunch. Jenni had something from McDonalds. Yes they are here also, but changes in the menu.
After shopping we went to the cinema to see Mamma Mia. It was a terrific movie and just perfect for the day. I want the sound track asap, and the video when it comes out.
Walking home from the train, we saw some men playing Cricket. I had not seen that before. The bat is flat, and the pitcher takes a running start and throws the ball so that it bounces a couple of times before the batter hits it.
Katie got home around seven and we walked to Gianni's. It is a wonderful authentic Italian restaurant here in town. It is a small 6 table family restaurant. The food is made fresh and is really good. I tried the calimari, but I do not think I will do that again. I just don't think that squid stuff belongs in my mouth. They served a lucious chocolate cake served with sweet cream. This was fantastic, but beware the coffee. I told the girls it was so strong that it could have carried me home.
I am really sleepy and it has been a good day. More tomorrow.
